By Merrill Reese: It’s difficult to remain optimistic when week after week The Eagles find ways to lose.

It’s not one thing, It’s a combination of physical mistakes and mental lapses. Just when you think they’ve shifted into high gear, they stall.

A string of four losses, no matter how painful, doesn’t end their season, especially in this division, but what we’re watching is certainly cause for alarm.
